Jade Capital Peak. After obtaining permission, Miao Yi went up to the top floor of the golden hall and met with Yue Tianbo.
However, he quickly left with a dark expression. Not only did Yue Tianbo refuse to lend Miao Yi his men, he even gave Miao Yi a stern warning, reiterating that the Hive Gang's matter had nothing to do with him, and that he wouldn't interfere even if he didn't know.
At the same time, he was also hinting to Miao Yi that if Wu Fei, who was also the Hall Master of Traversing Water Palace, Cheng Yingfei, didn't manage to resolve the matter in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, then it would be best for Cheng Yingfei to disappear from this world. That way, he wouldn't be able to leave any evidence behind in the Fifth Earthly Branch. Even if someone were to point fingers at Cheng Yingfei, as long as there was no evidence, it would all be for naught.
In Yue Tianbo's eyes, a living person was just a thief that could be erased at any time.
In any case, it wasn't that easy to drag Yue Tianbo down with him. Miao Yi could only curse inside as he left. He couldn't force Yue Tianbo to do anything anyway.
After leaving the capital city, Miao Yi initially wanted to head straight to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea. He couldn't be bothered to look for more people. Yang Qing had already taken six Red Lotus cultivators with him, and he himself was already at the Purple Lotus realm. As long as he didn't come across any Golden Lotus experts, he wouldn't have to be afraid. However, after thinking about Yang Qing's words, he decided to look for two more helpers. Regardless of whether they would be useful or not, he had to be prepared just in case.
He then made a trip to the Sect of Three Founding Fathers to look for Sect Leader Peng Yu to borrow some people. Boss Peng Yu was unwilling. It was one thing to borrow an average cultivator, but to directly ask for a Purple Lotus cultivator? However, since Miao Yi had personally come knocking on his door, he couldn't bring himself to do so. In the end, he invited two Purple Lotus realm elders to accompany Miao Yi. One of them was called Yuan Fengde, and the other was Shi Qiuyu.
The three of them rushed to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea together. As soon as they entered the Tempest Tavern, Miao Yi immediately slammed the money on the counter and asked for help. Naturally, he would be paying for their meals and lodging.
The scholar was slightly taken aback when he saw Miao Yi. Miao Yi was still in the same disguise as before. When he saw that he had brought two people with him, he didn't reveal anything. As usual, he registered them and asked the waiter to lead the three of them to the guest rooms.
As he left the counter, Miao Yi shot a glance at Yang Qing, who was drinking in the main hall. There were two Advisors from Suppressing Ninth Hall sitting at the same table.
Seeing that Miao Yi had arrived. Yang Qing stood up with his men and left with Miao Yi.
When the scholar behind the counter saw this scene, he revealed a pensive expression. He could tell that Miao Yi was obviously not here for the Lady Boss. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought a bunch of outsiders to see the Lady Boss.
He couldn't let the two elders of the Sect of the Three Founders know exactly what it was. After settling the two of them down, Miao Yi went back to Yang Qing's room.
In the room on the rooftop, the lady boss, who had been notified by the lobby, stood in front of the window. The carpenter and stonemason stood by his side, watching as Miao Yi entered Yang Qing's room. Not long after, they saw Wu Qunfang leading Cheng Yingxia and Cheng Yingxiang into Yang Qing's room.
"How did Niu Er end up with the Hive Gang?" the charming, dignified, and elegant lady boss murmured.
The carpenter chuckled. "This guy is really something. He didn't even come to greet the Lady Boss first when he arrived. What a heartless man. Lady Boss, such a heartless man must be taught a lesson. When we get back, we'll charge him double the amount. I don't think he'll dare to have a temper. "
The stonemason snickered. Nodding his head, he said, "That's right, that's right. We have to teach him a lesson."
The Lady Boss, who had snow-white skin and black hair tied up in a bun, raised an eyebrow. She glanced around and said, "Don't be cynical. Keep an eye on him in secret."
"Yes!" The carpenter and stonemason acknowledged and left.
Inside Yang Qing's room, Miao Yi and the others, who had lingered for a while, gradually left. Meanwhile, Yang Qing opened the window to avoid being seen from the outside. He leaned to the side of the window and gestured to an angle where he could be seen. After he stopped gesturing, a silhouette flashed past the window of a mud hut in the distance and disappeared.
After standing by the window for about two hours, another person appeared from the mud hut's window and gestured to Miao Yi from afar.
Yang Qing then walked to the door and gently opened it. He picked up a teacup and slowly drank from it.
Not long after. Across the courtyard, a door opened downstairs, and the Hive Gang's Fifth Head, Cheng Yingxiang, came out. He walked out of the backyard, passed through the front hall, and arrived at the courtyard outside the inn. Two crossed chopsticks were stuck on the top of the wall.
After looking around, Cheng Yingxiang turned around and went back.
About an hour later, an expressionless man dressed in black walked into the courtyard of the inn. With a wave of his hand, a strong gust of wind blew away the two chopsticks stuck on the wall.
The man dressed in black entered the inn and immediately pushed the money on the counter, asking for a room.
The waiter extended his hand to lead the way. "Sir, please come in."
"There's no need. I know the way." The man dressed in black waved his hand and refused. He entered the courtyard at the back alone and walked straight to the door of Cheng Yingxiang's room. He knocked on the door.
When Cheng Yingxiang opened the door and saw the man, his face darkened. He immediately turned to the side to let the man in. After looking outside, he closed the door.
Inside the room, Wu Qunfang sat cross-legged on the bed. Cheng Yingxia, who was gritting her teeth, was beside her. Cheng Yingxiang walked to the other side and stood properly.
The man dressed in black sized up Wu Qunfang and sneered. "The Second Head is finally willing to see us."
Wu Qunfang's face was as cold as ice. "Who are you people? Why do you have to make things difficult for me? "
The man dressed in black shook his head. "That's not important. What's important is whether the Second Head is willing to hand over the thing we want."
Wu Qunfang said in a low voice, "How do I know if our Head is still alive? If we don't see him alive, there's no need to talk about anything else! "
The man dressed in black replied calmly, "Of course. As long as the Second Head agrees, we will naturally let you see Head Cheng."
Wu Qunfang clenched her teeth. "I can give you the thing, but I want to see him first."
The man dressed in black nodded. "This will naturally put the Second Head at ease. For the sake of fairness, we will let you see him in this inn. Two hours later, meet in the main hall. But for the sake of Head Cheng's life, I advise you not to play any tricks. "As he finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the door to open it.
On the opposite building, Yang Qing had his arms folded across his stomach as he peeked through the crack in the door. His five fingers were lightly tapping on the back of his other hand as he watched coldly.
Soon, Wu Qunfang brought her son and daughter out. They sat at a table in the main hall and called for the waiter to order a table of food and wine.
Soon after, Miao Yi and Yang Qing also came out. They came to the main hall one after the other and sat at a table across from Wu Qunfang. They also called for the waiter to order a table of food and wine.
The scholar sitting behind the counter swept his gaze over the two tables from time to time, paying special attention to Miao Yi.
Not long after, the Lady Boss, who rarely appeared at this time of the day, leisurely walked in from the backyard. She had an elegant and charming temperament, and her eyes were as clear as water. The sky-blue dress she wore could not hide her curvaceous figure, especially the hint of wildness that faintly seeped out from her elegance and charm. It was a rare sight. It could be said that she had all kinds of amorous feelings in one body. Perhaps she was not the most beautiful, but she was definitely a stunner among women.
Her bright eyes swept across the main hall. She walked behind the counter and conversed with the scholar for a while, asking about today's business. After that, she walked out of the counter and walked over to Wu Qunfang's side. She smiled and asked, "Esteemed guests, are the food and wine to your liking?"
Wu Qunfang forced a smile and said, "It's alright. Thank you for asking personally, Lady Boss." Actually, she didn't even touch her chopsticks as she wasn't in the mood.
The Lady Boss smiled and nodded. She then walked over to Miao Yi's table. She lightly stretched out her jade-like arms towards Miao Yi and Yang Qing, and smiled sweetly, "Esteemed guests, please eat and drink well."
Miao Yi and Yang Qing nodded. When the Lady Boss turned around, Miao Yi saw the Lady Boss shoot a meaningful glance at him from the corner of her eyes, giving off a feeling that she was going to teach him a lesson later.
Miao Yi hurriedly lowered his head and brought the wine cup to his mouth to hide it. He muttered in his heart, 'Why did this woman come out at this time to join in the fun?'
Yang Qing's gaze couldn't help but take a few more glances at the Lady Boss's graceful figure as she turned around to leave.
In reality, when the Lady Boss appeared, almost all the male guests in the main hall were either openly or covertly staring at the Lady Boss's figure. It was truly because the Lady Boss's amorous charm was somewhat provocative. What a stunner!
After greeting these two tables, the Lady Boss didn't forget to walk over to the other table in the main hall and greet them as well. Soon after, she turned around and left.
The gazes of the three men at that table were unbridled as they watched the Lady Boss leave. Some revealed covetous looks in their eyes, while others revealed lustful looks in their eyes. Unfortunately, they could only fantasize about her, and none of them dared to be presumptuous.
The Lady Boss was the typical type of woman that people could only see but not touch.
Not to mention others, even Miao Yi, who had spent a lot of time with the Lady Boss, could only see her but not touch her. Miao Yi and the Lady Boss had spent a lot of time alone together, and the time they spent together wasn't short either. But in reality, he had only taken advantage of her twice. The first time was when the Lady Boss acted rashly after getting drunk, and the second time was when he got his way on the first day after staying for a month. It had been a few hundred years, and he had only done it twice. The rest of the time, he wouldn't let her touch him at all. Just thinking about it made Miao Yi cry.
However, the more it was like this, the more it made the men's hearts itch. What they couldn't have was always the best. But there was no other way. Forget about her other backgrounds, just the fact that she was the granddaughter of the Light Devil Sage Yun Aotian — who would dare to provoke her? Thinking back, if the Lady Boss hadn't taken the initiative after getting drunk, Miao Yi wouldn't have dared to provoke her.
As they returned to the backyard, the Lady Boss shot a glance at Miao Yi, hinting for him to come over.
However, Miao Yi turned his head away and continued drinking, pretending not to notice. This made the Lady Boss grit her teeth in anger. She gritted her teeth and swore in her heart, 'Niu Er, just you wait!'
Turning around to watch the Lady Boss leave, Yang Qing secretly transmitted his voice to Miao Yi, 'That woman's every movement is indeed seductive. Most women don't have this kind of charm. She's truly alluring. I think any man would be moved by her.'
Miao Yi glared at him coldly. "I'm not blind. I can see it myself. Why would I need your praise? What? Qing Mei and Qing Ju didn't serve you well? Do you want me to gift you a hundred beauties later? "His words were a reprimand. 'What are you thinking when you're dealing with business?' Of course, the most important thing was that he felt uncomfortable after hearing those words. In his mind, the Lady Boss had already become his exclusive property. How could he allow anyone to profane her?
Yang Qing was a little embarrassed, and quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to tell you that this woman is the Lady Boss of this Tempest Tavern. Rumor has it that she's the eldest granddaughter of the Devil Sage Yun Aotian."
